Whilst this is a photo copy, and some of the pages are a little askew, it was all readable and intact. A real bonus finding an old manual for a classic piece of kit that no other site had.
Great stuff.
Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan has a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.
Ensure the handle is properly located.
To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket.
Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle. Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.
HINTS AND TIPS
� �
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats. When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position. When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element.
